Overall Goal: Having children wreaks havoc on a woman's body. I've never been "buff" or lean, but I want to have my best body ever and I know I can do it - I've got friends who are mothers who have done it!

When I Started:
Dec, 2005
How I Started:
I was a competitive swimmer from age 8 through 12. I played basketball in middle school and was a diver in high school.
I've spent too many years MIA after having kids (4 +1 step) Now that I'm a grandmother (of 4), I decided I wanted to get the BEST body of my life so I started getting back into working out in December 2005. I was sidetracked shortly thereafter by breaking my back and have had a couple of hiccups along the way.
Why I Love It:
I LOVE lifting! It makes me feel strong and gives my body a better shape. Not to mention the tension it relieves while listening to Rage Against the Machine. I fly for a living and dealing with people puts you on the edge - working out helps alleviate the stress so I don't choke the living CRAP out of someone!
How I Stay Motivated:
By motivating and sharing with others. I love to read others blogs and always try and beat my best.
BB Accomplishments:
I don't compete nor do I aspire to. I'm just on a journey to get my best body ever! I hope to keep up with my PBs via this site.

What a TEASE!!! It's cold, overcast and ready to pour. Yuck. I did take advantage of the beautiful day yesterday and had some chipper fun with Bubba. We got a bunch of leaves and branches taken care of in the chipper, and I got the back yard mowed. AFTER that fun, I went to the gym for LEGS!...
your transformation is awesome too! we're both in the same boat. lost a lot and now need to lose a little more. it can be done! good luck and i look forward to seeing your updates.
I think the whole thing has kinda been put on hold.. I've emailed with Michelle a few times but she was never sure when it was going to be. Told her I needed to know enough ahead so I could get time off work and she assured me it wouldn't be a problem.. but haven't heard anything since Sept or Oct.
Thats what I thought you meant.. I was originally but haven't heard anything since.. and with the RR being down and I was busy haven't heard anything recently.. was there new posts?? I've been scrolling through but haven't found them yet..
Hey girl.. you must know something I don't know.. I've been off the computer for awhile.. do share.. I'm searching BuffMother as we speak.. well as I type and you well not sure what your up to.
